Mine Nakaki - Buchuuki

Japanese: 峰中記 - ぶちゅうき

The training of mountain ascetics in the mountains is called "minechushugyo" (mountain asceticism), or "minechu" or "nyupping" for short, and records or explanations of the training content, rites, and order are called "minechuki" or "minechutebun." In Shugendo, training is carried out four times a year, called "four seasons of mountain asceticism," with different durations, rites, and training content, and so "minechuki" (mountain asceticism records) such as "Seiho Himoroku," "Natsuho Nikki," "Akiho Tebun," and "Fuyho Gyojiki" were created, and training is based on these. Of course, there are slight differences in content depending on the year they were compiled and the master who wrote them, so by examining these differences, we can learn about the training content, the nationality of the ascetic who entered the mountains, the cost of the training, the weather during the training, and how to deal with unexpected incidents.

Japanese:

山伏の山中における修行を峰中修行といい，略して峰中または入峰というが，その修行内容，儀礼，順序などを記録または解説したものを峰中記とか峰中手文という。修験道では四季の峰修行といって年に4回，日数，儀礼，修行内容などのちがう修行をしたので，青峰秘録，夏峰日記，秋峰手文，冬峰行事記などの峰中記がつくられ，これに基づいて修行をする。もちろん編修された年代や，筆を執った先達によって内容に若干の相違ができるから，その相違を検討すると，修行の内容や入峰者の国別，修行に要する費用，修行中の天候，突発事件に対する処理のしかたなどを知ることもできる。
